Dianabol is the name given for the compound Methandrostenolone. Dianabol is very effective at causing rapid gains in muscle and strength.

A steroid that carries an anabolic rating of 210 and an androgenic rating of 60. While a mild androgenic rating, its androgenic activity is higher than its rating. D-bol 10 promotes only a few of the primary steroidal traits; however, it does so with an immense amount of power. There are largely three traits that define this steroid, and they include:

Enhanced Glycogenolysis

Through enhanced glycogenolysis, our carbohydrate intake is maximized as glycogenolysis refers to body's ability to breakdown glycogen into glucose. As you understand, carbohydrates are a direct energy source, and when the breakdown is enhanced this energetic factor is enhanced.

Enhanced Nitrogen Retention

One of the primary anabolic factors of this steroid, as the more nitrogen we retain promotes greater anabolic activity. So important, if our nitrogen levels fall too low, we can easily slip into a catabolic state.

Enhanced Protein Synthesis

Protein synthesis, the rate by-which cells build proteins. As proteins are the building blocks of muscle and essential to its preservation and recovery of the muscle tissue.

Why Choose Dbol?

There are two primary reasons to supplement with Dianabol; for off-season growth and strength or to directly enhance athletic performance. This is one of the few anabolic steroids that does not have a strong cutting purpose.

Most who use D-bol will do so to kick start a new growth phase. With such use, the individual will gain a lot of mass and strength rapidly ( gains of 20lbs in 4-6 weeks are not that uncommon ). Dbol can also be used mid-cycle to help you break through a sticking point, and it can do so in excellent fashion. Of course, if you used it as a kick start, you will need around six weeks of no Dbol use before you use it mid-cycle.

Then we have athletic performance. This is the reason Dianabol was created as a product. D-bol will massively enhance strength and speed, which are the attributes usually most desired by athletes. Due to the rate by-which D-Bol helps us maximize our food intake, energy levels will be increased as well as the total rate of recovery.

The Side-Effects of Dbol:

D-Bol has a strong aromatizing nature, and is a C17-aa anabolic steroid; as such, its side-effects will revolve around these factors. As an aromatizing steroid, estrogen levels can go too high and it can lead to some complications:

Gynecomastia

Water retention

High blood pressure

In order to avoid these estrogenic side-effects, the use of an Aromatase Inhibitor is often advised. Keep your doses at a responsible level. Most will need at least 20 – 30 mg per day for any anabolic promotion, with a maximum dosing of 50mg per day. If you've never used this steroid before, you should not start with a high end dose; start low and see how you respond.

The toxic nature of D-BOL is rather strong, and as such use must be sensible or liver damage can occur. Further, if your liver is not healthy you should not touch D-Bol. In any case, with responsible use, your liver enzyme values will still increase, but with responsible use they will return to normal shortly after use is discontinued assuming no other C17-aa anabolic steroids are being used and no other stress is being placed on the liver. This means, you should avoid alcohol consumption and the use of all over the counter medications; both can be extremely stressful to the liver; many over the counter medications more so than Dianabol.

How to take Dianabol

Dianabol has a relatively short half life which means for a user to retain a stable blood concentration level they are best taking the daily dosage split over the course of the day.

There is another school of thought which you may hear in other articles about Dianabol and on bodybuilding forums, which is to consume the full daily dose pre workout. This method is said to have the benefit of greater drug uptake, and greater performance in the gym due to the peak in blood concentration achieved during the workout. This method sounds appealing, but we must also remember that this administration regime will cause a greater strain on the liver. This method is still used by many experienced

Dosages of a Dianabol cycle

The common dose for Dianabol is 30-50mg each day, with a cycle that would usually last between 4 and 6 weeks. 30-40mg would be an effective dose for a person that is new to Dianabol, resulting in great gains in muscle mass and strength, whilst restricting possible side effects. More experience users may wish to take a slightly higher dosage, although like most other compounds, there is a dosage level where the muscle and strength gains plateau off and the side effects heighten, resulting in a point in which it is not worth increasing the dosage. Most experienced users will rarely take a dosage over 70-80mg per day.

Experienced users may wish to stack Dianabol with other steroids that are typically used for mass cycles. Testosterone and Deca 300 , for example, with a diet high in calories and much needed nutrients for growth. On the other end of the spectrum, many novices start off with Dianabol as a stand alone for their first anabolic steroid cycle. Dianabol, a steroid that can bring about great gains in muscle mass.

Milk Thistle, Liv-52 and ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) are often taken with oral 17-aa steroids to aid protection of the liver.
